Steemit open mic 49 /// Ukulele improv in a bath by the sea...

in #openmic7 years ago

Hey! This week I give to you a little improv on the ukulele. Thanks to @juliakponsford for filming it on her phone. Basically she forced me to do it. I just woke up when I recorded that and I was not in the mood for it one bit... she insisted that this is gonna be cool if you play something in a bath, with the sea in the background and we were leaving that place a moment later. So I came up with this little variation and since then it grew on me. Hopefully you'll enjoy it.

This my entry for open mic 49 and if you are on steemit and a musician you know it's the shit and if you don't click here.

What a trip, Vach! _(ha-haaa!)_How in the heck did you get such great acoustics out by the sea in that tub! - or did you just somehow photoshop yourself into that tub while in your studio? (he-he) And that flute or whatever it was toward the end was way cool. Either way, I thought this was great!

Thanks buddy. The trick was we had 2 phones... One for filming and the other one, my phone, with me in the bath. The drone sound I added later using and amplifying harmonic feedbacks from the original recording. As usual thanks a lot for your constant support this is grately appreciated.

Thanks for sharing your secrets Vach! Yeah man, that drone sound was the icing on the cake for sure!

aha! yes, exactly my question too :)

hey @lloyddavis an other Ukulele Buffoon here! Glad I answered your question before you had a chance to ask.

I feel the same. I laughed a lot like you @passion-ground. LMAO.

This made me so happy!
A bathtub..... Amazing!
@juliakponsford was very very right! :D

I am always right thanks for the confirmation, bwahaha!

I wouldn't go that far :P

Hi!!! I remember I got you crying once with my music now I feel it's a good balance if this one make you happy. I read a couple of your writing and I enjoyed all of them didn't comment because I was lacking something thoughtful to say... thank you my snake friend.

You sure made me cry! Music is a way to really touch me and this time you did it again only now I have this massive huge smile on my face! I bet you will make me cry again soon!

I certainly hope so... weird answer when thinking about it.

That is So Cool - @vachemorte ! I love that white mandolin

Thank you @greatdabu been way too long, we miss you man!

I know ... I've gotten a bit sidetracked lately. I've gotta get my Steem on real soon :)

Yes! we gonna need some new dabu over here! as always thank you for the steady support of my work that is always cheering me up knowing you got a listen!

👏👏👏👏 Slightly unconventional, very entertaining. I find a bathtub tends to give you a good clean sound... 😏

A good clean sound? That be a first, YES! Thanks for listening my friend.

Reestemed...!! I feel like this cat

But without my rubber ducky:

Rubber Ducky
You're the one
You make bath time
Lots of fun!
Rubber Ducky
I'm awfully fond of you!

Maybe my next entry.

Oh mon dieu... C'est incroyable. Comment j'ai pu rater ça? Tellement d'émotion dans ton jeu. Et l'accoustique de la baignoire est incroyable. Tu avais un micro au fond de la baignoire j'imagine? En tout cas j'ai adoré, ça sort de l'ordinaire comme sonorité, tu y as mis beaucoup de personnalité. Excellentissime!

Salut Troilo content de te voir chez moi :) C'était pendant mes vacances cette été, j'ai mon ukulele avec moi quand je bouge parce-que c'est en plastique et ça rentre dans mon sac. Pas de micro, j'ai enregistré la piste audio avec mon cell et ma blonde a enregistré le vidéo avec le sien. Oui ma personalité... c'est mon meilleur atout!!!

Wow. THE TUUUB. Such a cool sound

Hey what's up bro. We roll the dice together last sunday night! thanks for the compliment.

Hahahaha! Love this post! So funny performance and the sound is so grate. Don´t know about the melody though ;) But it dosn´t matter because the performance is amusing enough :)

Yo thank you for commenting from Iceland which I wish to visit one day. The saddest part is I was not trying to be funny :I But if I make you smile it's all good!

@vachemorte I am back listening to this again. Great fun. You are raising the bar to level "I'll do what I want." Very impressive my friend.

Yo Bucky you are keeping me on the edge of my seat I was just answering you on another page... :) Yes right now I really think I saw enough bullshit in my life so I don't give a fuck anymore. I do have something to say with my music, hopefully someone will listen.

Nice tune my friend I like it and a great place to have a bath :)

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your comment!

Your welcome keep it coming :)

okay I might just have to get @dillemma's ukelele down and jam in my bathtub now. Seriously blown away with how this turned out now that I know the full story. Amazing sound and I really like the progression and rhythm.

Yo julia told me the other day "Carl just posted a pic of himself in a bath on discord" so you're half-way there! Thanks for being so nice and for being a beautiful artist with many talents and a deluxe beard!

Ah ha ha ha the legend grows! I very nearly dropped the picture here in the comments for you so you don't feel left out but thought better of it at the last second. I meant to tell you that Thing One loved this song, we watched it together and he was transfixed. He is pretty sure you are in a boat. I left the player up on the screen as I was puttering around the kitchen and he managed to play it three more times by himself and watched it all the way through each time. Toddler stamp of approval

Haha thank you for sparing me. And also to make the next generation ready for my sound!!!

you picked a good place. Fresh air and everything. How did you bring that tub there? Isnt it heavy? LOL

I usually travel by the sea in that bath. When I see a beach I like, I stop and play a ukulele song. that's my life. I am a bath pirate.

You're so funny!
